Hi again everyone,

 

My "faster" browsing internet's contract has expired last month (18 month expensive as hell contract) and I cannot view the forums as often as I once did, so actual updating is slowing down / coming to a stop. Updating should be pie but it isn't, haha, can barely browse the forums. I'll add the pet information from vortex (been meaning to do that ever since he posted it, but logging into the forums takes a good 5 minutes, and I just didn't feel like doing it.)

We'll see what else I can do for you guys and if anyone else wishes to submit more information to the guide.

WirbleWind:
Check your PM's Cow , you got Ani-mail !

Quoted from wirble in PM:

Slime You already said the simple parts of the jelly slime. There are so many more tactics to use the slime or golden slime which can be between normal grab-attacks to the best throwers in your cloud/combos.

If you already mastered slime's timing , never ever only use it to give two points of damage to the enemy when you know you won't be able to grab him or make a useful move around him.


For example :

At running away from the enemy. When you see him following you like the complete failure jumping up and down just for the heck of trying to get close to you , simply jump , send the slime , laugh at the enemy that gets stunned (because he already went into your slime's range) and perform your best combo (either cloud+punch or giant bomb + air dash or grab+head spam etc)

For creating/continuing combo's :

This one's quite easy. If you see the enemy in a place where you'd guess he won't jump above you , do a swift dash towards him , throw the slime while jumping , cloud the other side (because when you jumped , you're already on the other side) then do your magic ;).

To continue some combo's , you can do the bomb juggle that is a god send if you use a stun pet like the almighty slime and his family.

 Gon

Gon is a work of art , as you already said and what you already wrote here is true. But you can also add the combinations you can do with the slime. Gon only offers you 4 chances to do at least one of the tactics from above with a delay that many recognize.


Plus , use the gon when you're jumping to have a wider stun-zone that works perfectly for either defending or attacking.


Gorgon

He works the same as the slime , but with a longer and maybe a little more damaging stun.

Cupid

Cupid .. You can also use him as slime , but only if you mastered his timing. If you can use all 3 of his arrows to do your bidding then you just win.

Blue Fairy

VortexMagus already said everything there really was about Blue Fairy

Ice Pixie
Don't just use the ice pixie to stun the enemies when you're down , some of them are fast enough to get out of it without receiving any damage from you (when you try to grab/attack/whatever)

Ninko

His only bad thing is that he cannot kill those in fatal but in rest,


-See Luna-


Ninkoro
The wider range of Gon. Just don't use him at the highest platforms thinking that you'll be able to get anyone from the bottom ._.

Luna
Luna is my pet from Heaven. She's my pure offense , defense , dodger and lover.

Plus , she makes some people stare at her so you technically stunned them for one second without pressing any buttons.

She's the ultimate "evolution" of Slime so use her as you'd use a more than perfect Slime.


Bastet

Hmm Bastet .. I don't really have much about her but she's defenantelly going to be your best friend at gorge.

Pepe

Pepe does not look like a good pet for an alchemist.

Maybe he's as good as a giant punch in cloud kill but i'm not sure. That theory has to be tested.


Thats kinda it about him ._.


Chaos Pepe

Chaos Pepe seems to be quite a marvelous pet for an alchemist. Try using him as you'd use Ice Fairy just with less button mashing for the enemies.(meaning the stun is consistent and not depending on the enemy) Ming Ming

"According to Azuchi Ming Ming sounds like a decent Alchemist pet." And he's right

Koo' Ka

Koo'Ka is the second Ming Ming with a faster reaction time but diagonal attack.

Will be added shortly, going to take me a good 5 minutes to get to my post haha.

 

And no, I'm still PvPing, my forum browsing connection is not the same connection I use to play the game with.

To be honest , what i wrote there is my secret to pets =:D I hope that a lot of people will learn how to actually use their pets instead of randomly spamming them or only when failing at their falls ._.

 

Oh , and do add the newest PengPeng as the ice version of MingMing. They have the exact same attack. Useful for cloudkill+pot smack , combo's etc.

sorry if this is known but you can do a booby trap grab : ] ( no ledges included! :o )

Watch the pictures in order from: booby trapped -> aerial grabbed ( or just 1 -> 2 -> 3 )

No sorry i cannot upload some video, because i'm too lazy to go use fraps : ] and other troublesome things.

After they are hit by the booby trap your suppose to make a really fast immediate dash to them and grab, good luck trying!

So many Alchemist guides coming out, but none of them have any secrets for beating overpowered skill-less Lires. D: It's just impossible, it seems.

Nice guide so far. I need to get me some Punches.

[*S6] will be about Lires.

 

Lions (Lires) are things you want to run from on the majority. Strategies will be discussed. Fight and Flight table should also provide information on this.

x.x This would be the time you'd lose the pot and go staff or lamp;

That's because he is just updated, and also because you replied to a post from 2 month ago.

Any Cow, thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update cow! I'm developing a strategy : Get someone in a cloud, use pixie. Then they will be focused on getting out of the pixie while you chuck a bomb at them and freeze + pot smash. Any thoughts on this? Oh and by the way, the best freeze bomb setup is just to jump over them and press z. The bomb will sprial down their body, no chance of escaping the 1hko. The only way is if they counter before they get launched into the air.
